I PURCHASED A USED 2008 HONDA CRV ON 07/19/2017. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK WAS UNLOCKING BY ITSELF. WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 5 TO 20MPH THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK UNTIL YOU GET TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE REAR DRIVER DOOR WOULD STAY UNLOCKED. I WENT TO A HONDA DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE ACTUATOR WAS BAD AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WAS BEGINNING TO FAIL DUE A LOAD NOISE WHEN ACTIVATED. THEY REPLACED BOTH ACTUATORS AT A COST OF $602.25. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM THE PAST OWNER AND THE PAST OWNER HAD THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT ACTUATOR REPLACED AND THE REAR ACTUATOR WAS LOOKED AT BUT NOT REPLACED. I READ THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AND IT SAYS, "FOR ALL SETTLEMENT CLASS VEHICLES, HONDA WILL PROVIDE A COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT FREE OF CHARGE, IF THAT LOCK DOOR ACTUATOR HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WITH THE COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT PART AS PROVIDED IN THE HONDA CASE 2:13-CV-00381-FSH-JBC DOCUMENT 56-1 FILED 09/24/14 PAGE 14 OF 72 PAGEID: 694 11 COUNTERMEASURE UPDATE. IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT, A SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER MUST BRING THE SETTLEMENT CLASS VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER. OWNERS AND LESSEES OF SETTLEMENT CLASS VEHICLES WILL BE ENTITLED TO A COUNTERMEASURE REPLACEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY EXCLUDE THEMSELVES FROM THE SETTLEMENT." COUNTERMEASURE MEANS WORKING OR NOT WORKING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE CRV SERVICE BEFORE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED AND THE ACTUATORS DID NOT GET REPLACED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY ARE WILLING TO GIVE ME A $100.00 VOUCHER TO BE USED AT ANY HONDA DEALERSHIP. IN CONCLUSION I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS CAR SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER THE POWER LOCK ACTUATORS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED. I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION. THANK YOU,

ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK SYSTEM RECALL: OUR 2008 HONDA CRV LITERALLY LOCKED US OUT. WE WERE YARD SALING IN A NEARBY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE PARKED ON THE STREET, AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE. UPON RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK WITH THE FOB. I TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH FAINT CLICKING SOUNDS. THE KEY ALSO FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR. OUR CELL PHONE AND KEYS TO THE HOUSE WERE IN THE LOCKED VEHICLE . IT WAS A SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND WE WERE LOCKED OUT OF OUR VEHICLE AND STRANDED. WE WERE FORTUNATE IN THAT OUR NEIGHBOR AND A FRIEND WERE YARD SALING IN THE SAME AREA AND GAVE US A RIDE HOME AND WE WERE ABLE TO GAIN ENTRANCE TO OUR HOUSE VIA AN OPEN WINDOW. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF THE MECHANIC(NOT THE DEALERSHIP!!) THE MECHANIC FIXED ONE FAILED DOOR ACTUATOR AND THE OTHER DOOR ACTUATORS WERE ALSO PROBABLY INVOLVED{??). HE SUGGESTED GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED A TOTAL OF THREE ACTUATORS GONE BAD!!! THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE GLAD TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM FOR $350 PER ACTUATOR --- $270 FOR PARTS AND $780 FOR LABOR.. IT TURNS OUT THE PARTS ARE PREDOMINANTLY PLASTIC AND APPEAR MADE NOT TO LAST. THE PICTURE COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT DIFFERENT. THE DAY BEFORE WE WERE USING THE SAME VEHICLE 45 TO 60 MINUTES FROM HOME AND NO NEARBY CONTACTS. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STILL STRANDED AND EVEN MORE STRESSED!!! WE BOUGHT OUR HONDA CRV BECAUSE HONDA SUPPOSEDLY HAD A BETTER THAN AVERAGE SERVICE RECORD , QUALITY OF PARTS, AND SAFETY RECORD.
